Trece Martires
Trece Martires is a city in Cavite in the Philippines and the de facto capital of the province. The city lacks almost anything of tourist importance, but it is a major point for travellers to the inland of southern Cavite.
Understand
[edit]The city was established in 1954 as the new government center for Cavite, and is named after the Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite, who are executed by the Spaniards during the Philippine Revolution. Trece Martires was created from Quintana, a barrio (or barangays) of the municipality Tanza. The capital has been transferred to Imus during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos, but the government offices remain at Trece Martires.
There are plenty of restaurants and shopping around town, but hotels are rather scarce. Trece Martires is also noted for its lack of gambling establishments (the nearest is the relocated Santa Ana Racecourse at Naic).
Get in
[edit]Trece Martires lies at the crossroads of Governor's Drive (Governor Juanito Remulla, Sr. Drive, or Routes 65 and 403), Tanza-Trece Martires Road (Route 64), and Trece Martires-Indang Road (Route 404). Travellers will usually travel via Dasmariñas or Kawit and Tanza.
